Don't mention " air brake knowledge/training " you might scare a customer away !

Like Ice T says in the commercial...... "When the check engine light comes on........ It's game over"!!

I'm in with the OP in terms of the quandary... perhaps because I'm not from a background where 6-figure purchases are made on impulse. I don't need to know everything.. but I need to have some general idea of what it takes to operate, feed, and maintain (think- pets, DVRs, or spouses... /nudge, wink) before committing.


Having farmers on both sides of my family, maybe I got a leg-up on the concepts of maintenance and repairs and operating big, heavy, slow (but potentially dangerous) machines. I think most people from similar family resources fare better with these kinds of potential issues.


But like spdrcr, I'm amazed that there is a sizable plurality of RV buyers that *seem* to think little past the dream and sales pitch until they've got a problem.

Hi dmc5231957,

Welcome to iRV2!

If you share info about your coach, it's very likely that someone can offer some suggestions specific to your coach. Many, many have installed a residential refrigerator.

Also, you might consider starting your own thread in a forum specific to your coach manufacturer seeking advice for the installation.

Good luck!

Take care,
Stu

It’s all your fault then. You make it look so easy so that even a millenial could do it. Shame on you! And the rest of us for leading them down the easy road.
